Methyl tricosanoate

C23:0 Methyl ester

View Datasheet

This odd numbered long-chain fatty acid methyl ester is unusual in many biological systems and is therefore often useful as an internal standard or biomarker.1 Tricosanoic acid is produced in some plants as well as in mammals (including humans) where it is more abundant as a skin lipid.2 Tricosanoic acid can be found acylated to various glyco-, phospho-, and sphingolipids including gangliosides.3 This fatty acid has been used recently, along with other fatty acids, as a hair growth stimulant.
